It is important that all employees are aware of, and understand the health and safety policy and have access to a copy of it. This means that it should be clear and easy to understand. In smaller organisations, it is possible to provide each individual with a copy. In a larger organisation, copies could be posted on notice boards or in other appropriate locations.

It is vital that the policy is monitored and evaluated to ensure that it is still effective. Monitoring can be undertaken in many ways, for example by undertaking spot checks or safetyinspections using checklists. In a more formal situation, audits and the review of managementreports and accident investigations can be undertaken.
